Improved Weld Quality and Enhanced Arc Performance

Is better weld quality, more bead-to-bead consistency and superior arc characteristics reason enough to upgrade to new equipment? Yes! Here's why:

  • Repairing a single weld defect costs $200 to $400 or more in an X-ray quality operation.
  • Any time spent removing spatter or repairing welds is LOST welding time.
  • Erratic arcs from old machines are a leading culprit of inconsistencies.
  • Superior arc performance and puddle control improves productivity.
  • Operators who like their equipment spend more time under the hood welding. Why fight quality control issues when new Miller machines offer the comfort of superior arc performance and the cost savings of better weld consistency? See what companies like yours are doing to improve weld quality:

UNCOVERING THE BENEFITS OF DYNASTY AC TIG INVERTERS: WELD THE UNWELDABLE, OR 13 WEEKS TO PAYBACK
The Advanced Squarewave Technology in Miller\'s Dynasty AC/DC TIG inverter makes welding aluminum almost like welding steel. A plane manufacturer describes the results on thin materials, while an aluminum railing builder increased productivity by 25%.

PIPELINE WELDING GOES MECHANIZED WITH THE XMT; ALSO USES PIPEPRO DIESELS FOR STICK, FLUX CORED WELDING
The Alliance Pipeline heralded the first large-scale use of mechanized welding in the U.S. It also featured several other technology firsts, including wire welding, induction heating and inverter technology…all employed to great [and profitable] success.

BREAKING TRADITION IN THE GULF OF MEXICO: OILFIELD CONTRACTOR TURNS TO BIG BLUE 302 TECHNOLOGY
This off-shore oil contractor says \"It\'s Miller time\" after a new engine drive offered great arc quality, superior reliability and lower repair costs. They also report that multi-arc units slash costs for large installations.

FABRICATOR TAMES EXOTIC METALS WITH DYNASTY TIG INVERTER TECHNOLOGY
Unable to weld bike frames with older TIG technology and facing QC concerns with its MIG welds on aerospace components, this fabricator upgraded to TIG and MIG inverters to control weld bead profile and reduce rejection rate.

XR WIRE FEED SYSTEMS IMPROVE ALUMINUM MIG AT OSHKOSH TRUCK
Tired of destroying a dozen contact tips per day because your aluminum wire burned back to the contact tip? One truck manufacturer solved that problem and others by switching from the push-only feeders used for steel to a revolutionary new push-pull wire feed system.

MAXSTAR DC TIG INVERTERS IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND QUALITY FOR STAINLESS STEEL PROCESS FLOW SYSTEMS PROVIDER
When stainless steel grinding dust caused reliability problems with its conventional TIG units, this mechanical contractor switched to DC TIG inverters with Wind Tunnel Technology. They also exchanged their heavy units for field work and replaced them with a 10 lb. inverter.

Miller Technology Exclusives:

Active Arc Stabilizer™
Gives you consistent arc starts, softer welding arcs, an easier to control arc on low end setting, and reduces spatter.

Auto-Line™
Automatically "links" the machine to any primary input voltage from 208 to 575 volts, single- or three-phase, 50 or 60 Hz. Also adjusts for voltage spikes within the entire range.

Lift-Arc™
Simply touch the tungsten to the work piece lift and the arc is initiated instantly and automatically.

LVC™ Line Voltage Compensation Keeps output of the power source constant regardless of fluctuation in input power ± 10%.
